Is It Common For A Child To Have His Testies Swollen And Filled With Water?
My son went to the doctor last weekend because his testicles are swollen. They scheduled a sonogram tuesday and I got a call today saying that it is a water filled cyst. My son is only 5 years old. Is this a common occurrence? And should I be worried?

Hello
Your son's findings may suggest hydrocoele.This is a common finding.
Your doctor has rightly advised for ultrasound.
Ultrasound is very helpful.It can detect any fluid collection etc in scrotal sac.
It can also assess testis,epididymis etc.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Get well soon.
